The Hard Work of Collective Farmers in the Kyrgyz SSR in 1942

Many female field workers have gained fame in the struggle for high yields of technical crops. In the Kyzyl-Asker collective farm of the Sokuluk district, the team led by K. Shopokova, the wife of the hero of Panfilov, Duyshenkul Shopokov, harvested 684 centners of beets per hectare in 1942, instead of the planned 210 centners, and on her personally assigned plot, the leading beet grower collected 700 centners of this valuable technical crop.

The Tale of How the Fox and the Old Man Went Hunting

Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman in the distant mountains. They sowed grain and tended livestock — that was their livelihood. And in those mountains lived a wild boar, a gray wolf, a clumsy bear, a striped tiger, a fearsome lion, and a cunning fox. They brought no peace to the old man and old woman. One day, hard times came to the mountains, and life became difficult. It was especially hard for the fox: she was a gourmet, used to eating only the most tender and

Felt Clothing of the Kyrgyz - Kementai

Among the herders in northern Kyrgyzstan, felt clothing in the form of a kementai cloak was common. In the south, we noted only a few centers of its distribution in the past. For example, in the Soviet district, the elders from the Adigine group wore such clothing made from dark felt, but covered on top with fabric produced at home. According to the stories of elder Umurzaly Toktonazarov (from the village of Uulu in the Aravan district), "kementai" was sewn in both white and dark

The study of the past is good in that one can move freely through time — jumping forward and backward, which is convenient for a stereoscopic perception of life; otherwise, one cannot understand either the pathos of revolutionary transformations or the tragic end of figures about whom we knew almost nothing just recently, and now there is an imperative need to know everything about them. But even now we know too little, as the main archives and investigative files are hidden, in which

Types of Kyrgyz Family

The predominant type of family at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century was the nuclear family, which consisted of direct relatives - parents and children. The size of such families varied in different regions where the Kyrgyz lived. For instance, in the Pishpek district in 1912-1913, the average family size was 5.6 people of both sexes (Materials... 1913. p. 284), in the Namangan district - 5.5 (Materials... 1913. p. 90), in the Andijan district - 5.9 (Materials... 1913. p.

The issues of receiving and accommodating evacuees in private apartments, recruiting, training, and educating personnel, as well as all social and domestic problems, fell on the fragile shoulders of Sakin Begmatova.

Hospitality Among the Kyrgyz

Where there is a guest, there is joy and abundance. "It is a sin to leave a hospitable home without tasting the bread," say the Kyrgyz. Indeed, it is in customs that the soul of the people lives, in traditions lies their strength. Hospitality is a distinctive national trait of the Kyrgyz people. For the Kyrgyz, a guest is sacred. It was believed that with the arrival of a guest, the home fills with happiness (kut). In ancient times, the owner of the yurt had to feed the guest and his
